@siam fortunately for him then that the AB head coach spent many a day in Canterbury
Well that makes no sense but better still let's keep crusader horse shit out of a Warratahs triumph thread eh? 🙂

Wow, what a win. Pretty bloody stoked.
Our first 50 was just dire, and we should have been down by far more than 17. But we hung in there and cashed in really well against 14.
Not sure how the Clan weren’t able to score in those last 10 minutes, it was a bizarre brain snap by Paddy Ryan.
They just lacked patience, as we did in the first 40.
I guess my attempts to change yours and Nicks passwords didn’t work
Congrats

Think I'm most disappointed with the lack of leadership and cool heads shown by the senior players/All Blacks. Naholo's YC should have been the moment they regrouped. Instead they completely fell to bits. So much so that when they were up a man, they played like they were down several.
If I were the AB coaches, I'd be pissy at that display.
Not to put too fine a point in it, but expecting Aaron Smith to step up under pressure because he's an AB would be a stretch; he's never really been under pressure as an AB halfback, and has consistently become a bigger dickhead than any halfback has a right to be.

@siam No, sadly. Was home with a sick Mrs - so inconsiderate of her.
You're too good for her mate.

@nta I vote wine is the culprit here.
Don't suppose you've heard of a guy called Phipps?
Doesn't change the fact A Smith is a raging dick bag. He's not the guy who steadies the ABs, and he's not the guy to lead a provincial team back to stability.

Fucking GREAT player. You want someone to snipe you a try our take a quick tap to put your team in a good position, he's your man. Fantastic pass, too.
He's also a mouthy twat - and getting more arrogant with it, according to our mutual friend Steve. Hardly one of the stoic, guardians-of-the-game types that AB fans like to pretend all their guys are.
Also likes to fuck random chicks in airport toilets, which is both a strength (fucking chicks) and a weakness (getting caught).

Watching the replay now - Tahs' second try (Folau) was due to Aaron Smith pussying out and letting Phipps dive on the ball off a lineout.
My mouthy twat beats yours, this week at least.

I've identified where the Clan lost it: Sopoaga disappears from the moment the yellow card came out for Naholo and was only spotted occasionally after that.
Also, Toilet Boy started step-passing every second phase, rather than just fixing defenders at the base of the ruck so he could fire out out, or snipe.

Yep, doesn't strike me as a decent bloke at all to be honest.

99.9% chance that you didn’t watch the game last night so I’ll fill you in.
Aaron Smith was pretty crap.

@shadowtrooper said in Waratahs v Highlanders - QF:
Reckon Naholo may have put paid to his AB chances - at least as far as WC chances go. Bridge is starting to look very very good, and makes the right decisions.
Steady on, Naholo being a buffoon doesn't elevate Bridge from being a Jonny McNichol wannabee sucking on the teat of the best forward pack in the comp
The thought of Bridge in the ABs sends a chill down the spine. I guess we've had Tim Perry though FFS. Not every muppet from the Crusaders needs to be in the ABs. If you want a kick-chaser type on the right wing, put B. Smith there.
A. Smith certainly puts the no dick heads policy at risk, but then you'd have no half backs at all if you couldn't have at least 2 or 3 in the squad. -
@louis yep him and TJ are mouthy little gits, but most of the time, it gets the job done and kind of what you want and need from a 9.
The 9 in my sons team I help coach is so quiet, I feel a bit bad telling him to watch more of Aaron Smith to see how a halfback bosses his pack, I do add you dont need to be a dickhead though...
